The easiest way to get it is to just go to Amazon.com/appstore on your mobile phone. From there, install the Amazan app store and it's right on the front page once you've installed and open the app store.

For those of you on AT&T and wonder why you can't get this to work, the answer is simple. Most AT&T phones will not work with the Amazon App Store (link. This is slowly being resolved with new phones and updates to old phones

Anybody having problems getting the Amazon Appstore to download & install? When I open the URL it says it's starting download but it just sits there. I can download apps from the standard marketplace just fine.

I went right to their page and scanned the barcode thingee and it installed in seconds. Took about 1 minute to download Angry Birds on 4G - guess due to traffic.

From the reviews on Amazon, it also appears to only work if you are in the US. Lots of people were complaining about going through the hassle of downloading the Amazon app manager and then finding out that it doesn't work because they are in a different country.

You can enable apps from non-market sources, but the process depends on your phone. You will, to the best of my knowledge, need root access to do this on any phone. I suggest going over to the XDA Developers forums and finding the message board for your phone. There you can find instructions on rooting and enabling sideloading.

There will probably be a few steps and some software involved, but it shouldn't be a difficult process.

Anyway, thanks OP. I had a bit of trouble getting the app store installed (user error) but it seems pretty nice so far.

Yep. But be aware that rooting your phone can void any warranty.

What really bites is that you can't buy Angry Birds Rio through the AT&T approved Android market.

AT&T is supposedly "working on" allowing apps from the Amazon Android market. You can sign up to be notified here.

ablang said: One thing anyone forgot to mention is that Am@zon Appstore will ask you to register a credit card # for you to download this free app.I already had a credit card registered with Amazon for all the other shopping I do on their site, so I didn't get any prompt to do so, and thus didn't even know it was a requirement. I imagine that's the case for many other people as well.

Some of the anger over that amazes me. If a company doesn't attempt to protect its trademarks, it loses them. That's how the law works. It's nothing to get emotional about.

Completely off-topic, but allowing a company to trademark something like "app store" is insane. They sell applications, which basically everyone calls "apps" and has since the 1970s or earlier (when spreadsheets were a "killer app"). So something ridiculously obvious plus "store"? Why not trademark "music store" or "video store"? It doesn't even come close to passing the "not obvious" test.

Anyone happen to know?

It's possible that Amazon will keep track of what you bought and downloaded and how much you paid for it. I assume they do, since they email you a "receipt" even for this free download. In that case, you would be able to replace the app from Amazon in the event of a brick/factory reset/wipe. However, it's possible that, even though they do keep a record of the download, an app that's offered free for a limited time will have to be purchased if you need to download it again.

The safest thing to do is to keep a backup of your applications and user data using Titanium Backup. That way, no matter what happens, you'll be able to retrieve your programs. I have free versions of Dungeon Hunter and QuickOffice that have persisted through two phone wipes thanks to TiBU.

Starlink is a tactical real-time strategy game about galactic domination. You start by controlling a star in a procedurally generated galaxy, and each star you control produces ships. You can direct ships to other nearby stars that happen to be connected via hyperspace routes in order to capture them, but beware other hostile factions trying to do the same. Don't let your guard down, or you will quickly find your stars overrun with enemy ships.

If the AI proves to be too much of a challenge, invite a friend (or five) to play with you, and share control of the galaxy with them, or join opposing teams and compete against each other -- it's all up to you.

To make the flow of the game even less predictable, each player can choose from a large list of abilities to take with them into each match that can drastically change the way the game plays. Some abilities are defensive in nature, some offensive, and others are a mix of the two. There are even abilities that let you reshape the galaxy to your advantage, collapsing or creating new hyperspace routes between stars.

And if that's not enough, certain abilities can be used in a sequence for even more devastating effects.

Can your galactic empire prevail and rise up above others? There is only one way to find out...
